Oh Goody........Invest in anything War related.

War is where the money is these days.........and Welfare as well.........it must be great to be WalMart at midnight on the first of every month when those food stamps debt cards get filled up with JP Morgan adminstrated money.

Welcome to the Welfare and War economy.......my guess is housing has another 50-75% to fall if we continue down the current path of losing 500,000 workers per week.....maybe more.

I have a very close friend with a very nice fully paid vacation home on Lake Michigan.....property taxes and up keep run about $7-$8K per month...........my guess is that he could barely give away that home today that was worth a couple million just a few years ago.

If you do the math, we are getting to the point where much of America will likely resemble Detroit due to massive unemployment.

We are simply parparing for the digital age.....it is not the end of the world, just the end of a world as you know it.

What are you, 16 years old? Or maybe you never took world history before the 20th century. War has been the number 1 budgetary item since the Greeks. The Romans weren't too bad at war spending themselves. Stop putting us to sleep with someone else's opinion. If you have someting informed to say on the subject that may even be germain to investing, let's hear it.

I note that all the economies you mention imploded as did the societies due, in large part, to excessive military spending.....but it was not the end of the world.....but it sure sucked for those citizens.

OK, as far as investing....if you own anything that is going to be obsolete in the next few years, my suggestion is sell now.........here are a few things going obsolete today.

Better check your historical references. The Greeks , Romans, Ancient Egyptians and so on had empires that collapsed primarily because greater empires arose that conquered them. And so it goes on. BTW, you must be quite one dimentional, whoever you are. My question related to investing in war related issues, not the obvious headlines I also read.

Do you have an answer for why these plants are closing? Do you have any recommendation on economic or political polocy that would change current economic trends.

I know Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians....they are all friends of mine.........and they say different.......but we could both be referencing different hostorical periods as they all have very long and exciting histories.

If you don't believe me, just take a stroll through Pompeii one day, and bring your wife or girlfriend along....I guarantee you will have a great evening.

Whoops...I missed the other part of your question....Pompeii distracted me a bit.

Yes, I have an answer......our economy is not structurally set up for a contracting credit environment....we are a credit dependent consumer based economy.

As a result of contracting credit, rising borrowing rates, and near zero savings rates....it is mathematically certain that many businesses, families and governments will go bankrupt simply attempting to service a mathematically unservicable amount of debt based on a zombulation policy......my current sensitivity analysis leads me to believe that somewhere between 70-90% will fail.

BTW...a much lower percentage than what happened to all of the cultures you mentioned above during a number of times during the respective histories.
